    London Struck By Tornado: Everybody Safe?

    Wow, it's been incredibly windy and rainy here today but it never occurred to me that elsewhere it would be that bad. Let's keep this bumped so people can check in to let us know they are safe. Where's Doc?

    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    I understand what you're saying and it is basically that we still live in an age of double standards. The general feeling is that women should at least project an image of sexlessness (is that even a word?!!) if they want to be respected whereas, a man can get away with the occasional...

    Hepburn Gown Under The Hammer

    I'd probably need to camp there! I generally go to museums etc by myself because I just get lost in everything and have to scrutinise every last detail. All of my friends are now so fed up with this that they agree to meet for dinner instead of coming with me! I think what they are trying to...

    Am I truly a "Golden Era" guy?

    :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Has anyone heard the Puppini Sisters' version of Panic? It is brilliant! I thought Richard Cheese couldn't be topped but these gals did it! :D

    What's the most interesting thing you learned on the Lounge?

    No way? :eek: When I was a child I used to go looking for them and try to sit in the middle to see if I would get carted off to faerie land! :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_ring Back on topic - the most interesting thing I have learned from the lounge is that some people don't know...

    Tomasso I could kiss you! Thank you so much for that link - the costumes are wonderful. The Met is now on my list of places to go in the not too distant future! :D

    Yes, I hear what you're saying MG but you did state quite clearly that your estimation of a person's intelligence drops if you discover that they've bared all in certain situations. You didn't say this was pertinent to any of your clients, you said it was those that do it for publicity. I...

    BRITAIN'S LAST WITCH TRIAL (1944)

    I used to live near Lavenham (where Hopkins was) lovely village - grisly history. Although as usual, the film exagerrated Hopkins somewhat. Still, it can't be denied he was a bit of a zealot. Very sad. http://www.controverscial.com/Matthew%20Hopkins.htm It should be noted that that text...

    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    Sometimes it can be quite fun being a plaything though! ;) lol I hear what you are saying but earning a crust, raising one's profile, publicising something/one are all causes too. Who are we to say they are any less worthy? I'm not saying I don't agree with you, MG - just that I don't think...

    Perfectly Perfect Pants

    What a wonderful blast from the past! Thank you Salv! So sad that KM is no longer there. I was modelling at the BBC and the RCA in the early 80s and used to go to the market every week! I have very fond memories of it. Do you know Witchety's? it was a cocktail bar just around the corner. I...

    Am I truly a "Golden Era" guy?

    I liked the Housemartins and FBS is not bad but I love the Beautiful South. They have a way of relating horrible stories about horrible people to wonderfully upbeat and cheery tunes! lol

    Exactly, it's for charity. Gosh Heff would laugh at us if we said we wanted to do Playboy! We'll leave that to the lithsome chicks! I've not actually seen Calendar Girls, although I almost have on several occasions. I think I ought to! :D

    Perfectly Perfect Pants

    Hello chaps! :D Several things come to mind reading this thread; firstly you are so funny! When we ladies get a pattern we need to copy, we just do it! We use our pattern tissue and trace an exact copy. None of this taking it to printers malarky or using CAD! lol Secondly, $150 for...

    What the heck does "soiled" mean?
